SANKOFA Semester in Ghana
SANKOFA Semester in Ghana is open to students of all majors, educators, and the community. This is an intergenerational program whereby students, community, and educators participate in unity to build intercultural competency awareness while participating in African cultural-based programs abroad.
This opportunity allowed me to overcome so many boundaries and fears, being able to travel across the country and experience a different way of life was truly amazing! Coming from an urban community it was difficult for me to think outside of the box. Having such a closed boxed in mindset, I never envisioned myself exploring the world, and what it has to offer.

My study abroad experience in Ghana changed my perspective on life and my purpose. The people I met and the experiences I had gave me direction that I have been searching for. I am truly grateful.

Every teacher at Laney College has an abundance of knowledge and experience to share. If dance is your major–do your best to wear thick skin. Take your teachers advice even when it hurts. And come back…and keep coming back! Have fun and remember why dance is your major. It’s about Joy!

My favorite part of class is when we walk across the floor. We get to dance to different types of music and we get to mix in our own personal styles. It’s definitely fun to see everyone cut loose before we start our workout. The exercises were intense, and some even too advanced to pull off, but i could feel my body adapting; I never knew that dancing could be such a good workout.
